I’m glad you changed your mind, changing the steering wheel & wheels would have been a crime

[JMNTN]

this era of mercedes is just something else, everything about it is solid and smooth

[Joe-hebv]

At the age of 22 everyone would say it’s a Grandads car but in my opinion I would have this instead of something new great engine great interior it’s definitely a classic!

A friend in Germany had one - 520, 000 km ( 304, 000 mls ) and it still went like a bullet, the brakes could put your nose on the screen.

The Wonder Grip van was only a baby at the start of the video 😂

We've owned ours for 12 years, absolutely love it, silver with black leather, just turned 125K, horrendously expensive to maintain and run, but puts a smile on our face every time we use it. Of to France and Spain in it next week. Incidentally the air-conditioning doesn't work on ours, but as it's a sunny weather car doesn't bother us. Fantastic cars if you have deep pockets, but long term like other older Mercs, will appreciate in value.

Upgrade the oil feeding pipes under the cam cover from plastic to aluminium bits, you should know this liking the 90's V8;mercs so much 😊

We need to see a video with Jimmy The Magician in.

The epitome of Mercedes when owning a Mercedes meant you had money and taste.

A classy, elegant, timeless design, Bruno Sacco at his best!!

[garys]

When Mercedes genuinely were a cut above other manufacturers. Different era, cannot see that latest SL lasting this long

[lawrenceholden]

Remember these when new, the son of the local main Mercedes dealer was dating a girl who lived opposite me, he was the Sales Director and ran one as a company car. Looked so cool on sunny days with the top down.

Rear view mirror touch is amazing. So much to like on these. I can smell it from here. Lovely. Not for me but what a nice thing.

These would be sky high if they were sold in less numbers as the quality is peak Merc, It's amazing they sold so many as they were the price of house in 80s/90s. The sl pre merger cars will be the ones that do well- also think the early models look a lot better as they have aged.

When I was 21 years old I bought a Porsche 944s. My uncle who was quite a wealthy mom took me to pick it up in this Mercedes 500 SL. 25 years later I still get incredibly nostalgic every time I see a 500 SL. Your doing god's work Matt! ❤

[morayfirth]

OOOh - don't change the alloys. Keep it as original as possible for future value retention. There are beautiful cars and I have owned several. They normally had a Becker stereo. The 500 is the best engine.

[JamesTheRealSpeaker._]

I own three Mercs, and would love one of these as my fourth.

As a Benz enthusiast, I had a warm and fuzzy feeling for this entire video. Such a beauty.

[jjefferyworboys]

Back in 1990 when the SL500 was introduced my next door neighbour, a former Mercedes dealer, brought one of the first to enter the country for his 75th birthday at a cost of £75, 000.
At the time these attracted a substantial premium, because of the long waiting list and I recall ads in the Sunday Times for £120/£130k.

[milliondollarempire]

Lol no need need to fix air con u can take roof off. Definitely a keeper i love this car💟

[geirarnesen]

Great video Matt 👏. More like this with semi-classic bargains, and You are so modest and ridiculously fair with your pricing, that I'm sure it was a rush to buy this beauty.

[flemmingsorensen]

That interior is just insanely cool! Totally different from the soul less cheap screens we have today. This here just screams quality.
